Summary

Dawkins banned him, and another atheist called him ‘a dangerous man’ because of his persuasive winsomeness as a gospel communicator.

0:00.0	A man came up to me and he said, David, I'm going to tell you something and it's not a compliment. And I don't want you to take it as a compliment. And I said, well, bad news. I said, I'm almost certain I am now going to take it as a compliment. I said, go ahead. He said, David, if you'd been my vicar at school, I'd probably still be a Christian. I don't want to be a Christian. I hate Christians. I hate Christianity. And he said,
0:21.5	you are a very, very dangerous man because you made it sound attractive and reasonable.
0:28.9	Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. Great to be back for another week.
0:32.9	If you're new to us, Inspired is all about meeting different people from across the globe,
0:37.3	different walks

0:47.1	by negativity and bad news, and the whole point of inspired is to counteract all that.
0:53.0	And I'm excited this week because we've
0:54.5	got with us, David Robertson. Welcome, David. Yeah, glad to be with you and glad that you want
0:59.9	to be positive. I will bring you a suitable nose of Scots negativity. Oh, brilliant. Bring it on. So

1:14.5	I just did a podcast with him a short time ago.
1:17.3	And he put me in touch.
1:19.1	The We Flea is your website and podcast.
1:22.8	You're the founder of Solas, which is all about persuasively communicating Christ in today's culture.
1:29.2	So you were ministering in Robert Murray McShane's church in Dundee in Scotland before moving to
1:35.4	Australia. There's loads I want to unpack, David. But just give us a bit of context and
1:40.4	background. Well, you can unpack whatever bit of this you wish, but I was born, dare I say,
1:46.2	I was actually born in England in Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is technically English.
